As Internally Displaced People (IDP) in Pakistan have begun to move back home from the aid camps in Swat Valley many are found caught in the violence between the government and the Taliban.
Different groups are beginning to be seen as targets in the violence, one being young girls going to school.
Girls are forced to trade their uniforms for street clothes and hide their books in their shawls so that they do not get taken away and burned. Schools have been bombed and many girls are being banned from attending those that are still standing.
